Yes you need service from a GSM/GPRS provider, since the 7230 is a GPRS blackberry, I believe that it MUST have a SIM slot, check under the battery of the unit.

If a provider doesnt support blackberrys then there is no blackberry server, meaning you wont get instant emails.. the phone feature should work, and if your lucky wap may work as well, but i doubt that since there wont be any service books for it.
